Apple finally updated Apple Music. Shits finally not broken. You can listen to Beats 1 radio now without a gazillion errors about your Apple account being fubar.

how do I lower the security settings on my lockscreen so that the message in the notification shows. I can't find it in the settings.

On my Note 5 its under Lock Screen and Security.
Default Android, you do it per app, so go into app settings, pick an app, pick notifications then uncheck Hide sensitive content.
What exactly is the usage pattern that is difficult to add people for hangouts? I've mix match the two all the time without any issue.
Settings->Sound & Notification->When device is locked for AOSP
It's the part when you ask people what their hangouts ID is and they reply "what the fuck is Hangouts?"
I don't see it in the Google Play App Store. Anyone have any experience with emulators on Google TV?
Not sure why you would need to ask for hangout ID. I start with SMS with a new contact and if the person has gmail (which I would then add to my contact) then they would have hangout chat (but may not be using it). If they don't use hangout chat just stick to SMS - nothing changes on my end.
I've only tried SNES9X on Shield TV, which worked great. But IIRC, the chipset used in the Sony TV are pretty mediocre and available apps in store is a bit wonky. You might have to side-load it.
Nope, just Google Messenger.

thanks man!
Time to learn to side-load I guess. New to Android so still much to learn.

20A? What? You know how thick the cable would have to be?
You mean 20V at 5A with USB-PD. Type-C only does up to 3A.
And yes, there is a big difference from 20V to 20A. I fucking lol'ed.
Also, no. USB-PD has that. You're quite mistaken if you think the Qualcomm stuff is just marketing because that stuff is NOT part of the USB2.0 standard.
All of them need a chip to negotiate with the charger, which also has a chip, as to what current and voltage to use. Samsung's fast charging that can go in voltage is compatible with Quick-charge. But QC with up to 20V was first. The Apple shit was just lazy 5V with 2.1A.

what i meant was fast charging existed and many people were just unaware of it until Qualcomm made a big deal about their version. not that theirs is just marketing, but that they gained mindshare from marketing, hence why people ask if X device supports Qualcomm's tech and not just fast charging in general.

Aren't Android phones supposed to automatically download your previously installed apps once you've logged in to a new phone? I just transferred from an HTC One M7 to a Note 5, and it isn't doing that. Pretty sure I had that feature on my HTC Evo 4G Shift when I bought the HTC M7, so I'm confused on how a 2015 flagship wouldn't do the same thing. I've already tried looking around in the google settings and account sync, too. Google searches are only giving me results from people who want to stop this from happening, which isn't gonna help me.

Qualcomm made a big deal because unlike the "fast charging" that existed, which was just making the device pull more current, their QuickCharge 2.0 actually can do up to 20V at 1.5A with USB 2.0. That required more than a simple short at the USB data pins.
Charging a battery is harder than just throwing current at it, unlike the "fast charging" you refer to.

You have to turn it on under your account settings or sync or backup and reset. Well, it's in setting somewhere.

That's the problem - I can't figure out how to force it to download everything even though I've scoured the account settings, forced a resync of the entire suite of google services several times, and the backup/reset only gives me the option to backup the Note 5, not restore from my cloud settings. My HTC One already has had the option enabled since I got the phone a few years ago. I'm trying to find a way to get it to trigger manually, since by all means, the accounts are synced.

I have a Note 5 and cant find it either. Not sure where it is.

I went ahead and factory reset the phone, as the instructions found here seemed to imply it may only be available on first time setup. But it never gave me the option to restore from my google account, only Tap & Go (not what I want) and Samsung Account. It completely skips over the online restore function! But everything else is the same. Anyone have any experience with this? It's starting to get a little maddening.

If you have to just go to the play store and under my apps and redownload them manually.

Why exactly is a phone launching in India such a big deal? Since last year all you hear is India this India that
Why? :S
Now they're asking if Android N can be named after an Indian sweet :S

it's the next big growth market for mobile now that China is getting saturated.

There's 1.4 billion people in China, that market isn't anywhere near being saturated yet. The recent economic slowing in China is probably the bigger reason why the phone manufacturers are suddenly interested in India.

Is anyone else having problems with idle battery drain on a Nexus 7 2013 with 6.0.1?
I loaded 6.0.0 as a factory image, and idle seemed good. The battery would last for many days if I didn't use the tablet (location off, nfc off, wifi scanning off etc). I sideloaded 6.0.1 and now I get less than 24 hours of idle before the battery is dead. Tablet Idle is still top of the list, but only consuming 100-200mAh.
I performed a factory reset of 6.0.1 yesterday and the drain at idle is still the same. Thinking I may just load the 6.0.1 factory image and start again.

They have a billion mother fucking people that's why.
All they have to do is copy iMessage. Its not fucking hard unless there are patents involved. Put that functionality into Messenger.
Hangouts is absolute fucking garbage.
The Huawei Mate 8 is coming to the US:

I tried it at Best Buy on an S6, and it was no better than Google Cardboard. Had a really hard time getting it to focus well with the slider. The capacitive d-pad is super unintuitive, and the screen door effect is present despite the high DPI of the screen. Not impressed at all.

Anyone here pick up a pixel C? What do you guys think of it so far?
Like it so far. Much better than my Nexus 9 that it's replaced. Everything on it is an all around upgrade from the 9.

I mean, that's a given. The N9 was garbage from day one and hasn't improved since. Pixel C is what should have been.

they won't because they know how awful the buzz would be about messages disappearing etc.
I received my new silver Note 5 in the mail today. It's a great device, slightly laggier than I imagined, but I'm being as critical as possible since it's a premium phone. The display is incredible and I'm officially converted to buying unlocked phones only. One big problem that completely killed my buzz and had me pretty irritated though: The screen came with a cluster/group of dead pixels. At least 10-15, and I never noticed until I started browsing some sites/apps with white backgrounds. I was so pumped for it and then that had to happen. I've already started my return with Amazon and will order another, I'm chalking it up to bad luck. Still a crappy way to start the weekend, but it's time to focus on something else for now and wait for the refund to go through in a week or so.
